Backpacking Camping Tent
Backpacking Camping Tent
can you use a backpacking tent for camping multiple nights in a campground?

backpacking tents seem generally cheaper and lighter weight, but would they work well for camping in general? i want a tent i can camp in but also use for backpacking if need be
i dont mean if im allowed to, just if it would work and hold up alright

why are they split anyways? isnt a backpacking tent just a lighter camping tent?

none of the campgrounds I ever heard would care if you slept on the ground without a tent at all as long as you weren't naked
